Ghana: Automakers push for ban on aged vehicles, will Akufo-Addo budge? Carmakers in Ghana are lobbying the government to enforce a ban on the importation of aged vehicles to drive up sales for new ones. This move aims to boost the local automotive industry and attract foreign investment.
The ban would prohibit the importation of vehicles older than 10 years, which currently make up about 70% of vehicle imports in Ghana. The government is considering the proposal, which could encourage carmakers to set up factories in the country and create jobs.
